'''K9 Mark I''' or '''K9 Mark 1''' ([[TV]]: ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]]'') was a portable [[computer]] originally owned by [[Professor]] [[Marius]], who considered the [[robot]] [[dog]] his "best friend". Together, they conducted advanced medical research at the [[Bi-Al Foundation]] for an unknown length of time. When the [[Fourth Doctor]] and [[Leela]] arrived at the Foundation, Leela quickly became enamoured of the dog. The professor eventually gave the dog to the time travellers as thanks for defeating [[The Swarm (The Invisible Enemy)|the Swarm]]. | '''K9 Mark I''' or '''K9 Mark 1''' ([[TV]]: ''[[Regeneration (TV story)|Regeneration]]'') was a portable [[computer]] originally owned by [[Professor]] [[Frederick Marius]], who considered the [[robot]] [[dog]] his "best friend".

The Mark I was particularly associated with and protective of [[Leela]]. Therefore, when she elected to remain on Gallifrey, he also chose to stay behind with her. Nevertheless, he occasionally left Leela's side when he was sent on solo missions by the [[Time Lord]]s. During these adventures he travelled in a spacecraft the Time Lords build especially for him called ''[[K-NEL]]''. | The Mark I was particularly associated with and protective of [[Leela]].

Professor [[Marius]] had a dog called [[Kelso]]. He couldn't take Kelso with him to his new workplace at the [[Bi-Al Foundation]]. So he constructed K9 six months before he was leaving [[Earth]], working on it day and night. He used all the latest technology. The heart of the machine was Professor Marius medical computer. A state-of-the-art intraresponsive brain app was added inside it. This allowed K9 to talk. Furthermore a huge general knowledgepool was added into the brain. Professor Marius added these parts together creating K9.([[PROSE]]: ''[[One Man and His Dog (short story)|One Man and His Dog]]'') | Professor [[Frederick Marius]] had a dog called [[Kelso]].

When he first met [[Leela]], Professor [[Marius]] said only that he "had K9 made up" — ''not'' that he "created" or "designed" the unit — because weight restrictions did not allow him to bring his real [[dog]] from [[Earth]] into [[space]].

One account claimed that K9 may have owed his existence to a [[temporal paradox]]. Far from inventing the dog himself, the professor copied the remnants of one of the versions of K9 created by [[the Doctor]] and given to [[Sarah Jane Smith]].
